A SAFE REMEDY FOR VARIOUS
ULCERS, BOILS AND OTHER DEFECTS.
Take the root of an iron-weed, and tie it around the neck; it cures
running ulcers; it also serves against obstructions in the bladder
(stranguary), and cures the piles, if the roots are boiled in water with honey,
and drank; it cleans and heals the lungs and effects a good breath. If this
root is planted among grape vines or fruit trees, it promotes the growth very
much. Children who carry it are educated without any difficulty; they
become fond of all useful arts and sciences, and grow up joyfully and
cheerfully.
